Sythiar: The point of the argument is that asking your visitors to click the ads is forbidden by some (many) advertisement networks. Like Google Ads for instance.
In their book they will simply *not* pay you for the clicks once they find out you asked people to click.

Opaque: I thought you were dead right about Google Ads, being a (currently inactive) member of that programme myself, but it seems that their T&Cs have changed. Section five of their T&Cs (“Prohibited Uses”) merely prohibits the generation of clicks “through any automated, deceptive, fraudulent or other invalid means”. They don’t even seem to prohibit page owners from clicking on their own links anymore, which is nice, because sometimes you want to see what the heck is being advertised on your own dang page, and clicking is the easiest way to do it.

So yeah… support Dreamland and its sponsors: click on an interesting ad today.

I dunno, you could make a case that asking readers to click on ads for products they have no interest in just to support the host counts as fraudulent. Also, if it’s pay-per-click rather than per view, lots of clicks but no sales would push the cost-benefit of taking ads further towards the cost. I know if I was paying more for ads than the ads were bringing in revenue I’d pull them PDQ.

I can see how asking your readers to click the ads could be taken as an attempt to “cheat the system”, but we know that’s not your intent. Besides it’s a great and free way to support you. Especially since hubby & I are moving next month. I keep having to remind myself unless I want to pack it up in another box as soon as it gets here I have to wait! I’m not so great at waiting… arrrrrrrgh!!!!

Well he’s just pointing out that like TV shows, if the advertisers see that it isn’t worth supporting a show (or in this case comic) they’ll pull out their support. So for the artist’s sake as much as our own, let’s support him 😀

Why do I have the feeling that the man in the shadows is going to be someone Nastajia actually knows? 😉

About the ads, I would check them out if I could see them. One site that I visit often (which ironically, is how I found this site) over did it on the ads (like many sites), which led me to install the ad blocker. Sometimes, though, you do find a jewel in the wreckage 😉

I just noticed that your “#
